We are referencing the cayenne maven plugin (cgen) as in
http://cayenne.apache.org/doc30/maven2-plugins.html:
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.cayenne.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-cayenne-plugin</artifactId>
<version>3.1M2</version>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
During build maven tries to fetch the *.unpublished jars/poms from
repo, and fails.

IIRC. Not sure what's the status of those (do we have a Jira?) and whether anyone actually
*tried* using it with a clean local repo?
Yes, I did. Deleted whole local m2 repo. No difference.
Also tried to create the targets from the 3.1M2 tags to add them to our
3rd party repo, but could not get past the tests for some reason. I know
I could have tried to bypass the tests with -Dmaven.test.skip=true, but
then it will be a workaround on top of other workaround, so I stopped.
As for now the 3.1M2 is unusable for us, and presumably other developers
relying on the plugin, shall I open a jira?
Thanks
